Inter Milan chairman Massimo Moratti said that he hasn’t reached a deal with Barcelona over the selling of striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic previously said he wants to see European glory away from the Nerazzuri and it was suggested that the Swede will be traded with Barca's Samuel Eto'o.

Moratti met with Barca president Joan Laporta last week, but Il Patrone doesn’t see the Swedish striker leaving San Siro for the moment.

"It was a meeting of reciprocal curiosity," Moratti told Sky Italia.

"Ibra wanted to join Barcelona and we wanted to understand how much real interest there was on their behalf.

"We realised each of us are happy with our respective players and so it is perhaps best to keep hold of them."

Moratti, who wants to keep hold of his 27-year-old hitman conceded that the door is still ajar for Barcelona to lure Ibrahimovic.

"If there is an idea that everyone likes, then we'll see, otherwise we will remain as we are now," Moratti concluded.
